About
Pulse COOP is a worker-owned cooperative made up of creatives, musicians, and web technologists based in Austin. We believe in supporting local and small businesses, building tools for our community, and using technology to empower small organizations and grassroots movements.
What is a Co-op?
Though we are a small team at the moment, we are constituted as a co-op, which means we operate as a democratic workplace and ascribe to the seven cooperative principles.
Additionally, we donate labor to cooperatives and causes we feel passionate about.
